Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are the European Union’s reference programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training. They support researchers at all stages of their careers working across all disciplines. The MSCA support the mobility of researchers between countries, sectors and disciplines to acquire new knowledge, skills and competences with 5 actions: Doctoral Networks (DN), Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF), Staff Exchanges (SE), Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes (COFUND) & MSCA and Citizens.
Key Information
As a non-EU country, Switzerland has to negotiate the association to Horizon Europe. Currently, Switzerland has the status of a third country. Organisations based in Switzerland can participate in MSCA Doctoral Networks (former ITN), MSCA Staff Exchanges and COFUND as ‘Associated Partners’. The Swiss project partner will not be funded by the European Commission but by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation. Furthermore, as long as this status remains unchanged, researchers with a Swiss host institution are not eligible to apply to the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships. Switzerland is eligible as host country for the outgoing phase of a Global Fellowship. However, Swiss nationals are NOT eligible for participation in MSCA Global Fellowships unless they are long-term residents of an EU Member State or a country associated to Horizon Europe.
